GREAT JOB! Again, you are doing some great art, and I really enjoy watching you create. Lately I had been feeling very inspired, but watching you paint has made me want to pick up a brush again. (I had been doing a lot of paper-cutting art).

P.S. I am addicted to twitter, and will follow you if I'm not all ready! Tweet you later! and keep up the fabulous paintings...(the giraffe painting is one of my favorite of yours as well!)

The Artist Herself....

About Me

A native of Northern California, Leilani Joy grew up illustrating the world around her. In 2009, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco where she majored in traditional illustration. Leilani’s work has since been featured in numerous art events and gallery shows including Swoon Gallery, Los Angeles, and Disney’s Wonderground Gallery in Anaheim, CA. Heavily influenced by Japanese animation, fashion illustration, and the occult, her work blends her passions in unique ways. Her emotive long-limbed ladies are brought to life using vivid color, graphic shapes and a variety of materials including acrylic, watercolor, ink and 3D collage. Currently living, creating, and blogging in San Francisco, CA, Leilani’s originals, prints, and products are now sought after worldwide. Leilani’s love of the creative process and desire to educate young artists has inspired her to launch her own channel on YouTube entitled, Art NuVogue where she demonstrates her process and explores new materials and techniques.
